Mature landscaping and shade trees line the way to this circular drive, where a Belgian block walkway leads to a lovely carved front door. Inside, fine oversized windows, high ceilings, custom millwork, and wood floors that create an elegant and inviting atmosphere. The sunlit eat-in kitchen is the heart of the home with abundant cabinetry and counter space, a double sink framed by a garden window, and a generous center island that opens to the inviting family room with a beautiful Mercer tile floor. A woodburning fireplace and custom built-ins set an intimate tone, while two sets of glass doors invite you out to the expansive maintenance-free deck overlooking the backyard. Perfect for entertaining, al fresco dining, and effortless indoor-outdoor living beside the beautiful in ground pool surrounded by drylaid stonewalls. A large mudroom offers flexible utility- ideal as a laundry room, butler's pantry, or home office-with direct access to the attached three-car garage providing daily convenience. Designed for gatherings, the bright dining room overlooks a spacious formal living room with a gas fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows, and French doors to the outside. A sweet updated powder room and backyard access are tucked around the corner. A broad staircase leads to the impressive primary suite featuring a custom walk-in closet, second-floor laundry and a luxurious en-suite bath with dual vanity, freestanding soaking tub, and glass shower. Enjoy peaceful morning son your private balcony with views of the manicured grounds. Down the hall, two more bright and spacious bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bath. With mature landscaping, a generous lawn, and sparkling pool as the centerpiece, spend summers lunging poolside or experiencing the local culture, great restaurants, and mile of hiking and biking along the Delaware River. This home is a thoughtfully crafted retreat with every comfort close at hand.

A-1
Agricultural / Rural Residential Zone
Development in this zone requires residential usage averaging three-acre-minimum lots. Continuing agricultural and woodland use of land shall be encouraged. More specifically, the intent of the A-1 Zone is: To facilitate land use patterns, densities and practices that support local, county and state efforts toward sustaining agriculture; To support the continuation of existing and future agricultural operations by limiting opportunities for nonagricultural land use conflicts and nuisance complaints; To preserve prime agricultural soils and soils of statewide importance which are inextricably linked to long-term agricultural productivity and whose agricultural value, once lost, is irretrievable; To offer diverse land use options and in so doing, support a variety of agricultural pursuits; To provide opportunities for compact development patterns that are a logical extension of existing historic hamlets or similarly configured new hamlets and that result in preservation of farmland and open space; To facilitate land use patterns and practices that avoid environmental degradation, which may in turn threaten public and/or ecosystem health; To maintain residential densities that ensure the protection of drinking water supplies and quality; To ensure adequate recharge areas for new residential lots to protect drinking water supply and quality and provide for future agricultural needs; To facilitate land use patterns, densities and practices that retain woodlands; and To implement the Land Use Plan Element of the Master Plan.
